Since having a baby 12 weeks ago I have developed an irrational fear of anaphylaxis. I am 29 years old and other than having a bit of eczema on my face sometimes I don’t suffer with any allergies - I did experience facial swelling after having my baby which may have triggered this, though I believe this to be water retention caused by sobbing!
Is there any encouragement or advice anyone can give me to help me overcome this irrational fear?
One of my particular fears is that if I had an anaphylactic reaction, i wouldn’t make it to hospital on time. We live 26 minutes away from any hospital. This really frightens me!
